1 Editor’s Letter Earlier this year in our June publication we decided to try a themed issue by focusing on Marshall Scholars in the military. The response to this issue was overwhelmingly posi- tive so we’ve decided to try again—this time focusing on Marshall scientists. Marshall Scholars have applied their diverse interests and skills in the sciences to make significant impacts in the lab, the halls of government and the private sector. We hope you enjoy our snapshot into this segment of the Marshall community and look forward to producing additional themed collections in future issues. Finally, after this issue Suzette Brooks Masters will be taking a much deserved break Nicholas Hartman from her role as the Profiles Editor.

Brit- ish Ambassador Sir Peter Westmacott and Lady Westmacott hosted the event in their Ambassadorial residence. Hundreds of guests attended, including the newly-minted Marshalls, other current Marshall Scholars, and Marshall Scholar alum- ni. Ambassador Westmacott delivered remarks about the history and significance of the Marshall Scholarship. William J. Burns, 1978 Marshall Scholar and US Deputy Secretary of State, was the guest of honor and delivered an inspiring speech about his time as a Marshall Scholar and how his ex- perience in the United Kingdom has influenced his career. That evening, several Marshall Scholar alums hosted members of the Marshall Scholars’ Class of 2012 for din- ner at restaurants in the Washington DC area. As the date coincided with Rosh Hashanah, one Marshall Scholar alum hosted Jewish Marshall Scholars for a Rosh Hashanah din- ner at his home. Later in the week, the British Embassy hosted a workshop for the 2012 Marshall Scholars. The workshop was led by a The send-off program for 2012 Marshall Scholars included a combination of Embassy officials and Marshall Scholar alums visit to Congress and discussion with former Chairman of the and was divided into thematic groups, such as the creative House Budget Committee John Spratt (Oxford ‘64). arts and science and technology.

To attract interest among highly credentialed Marshalls, the AMS will consider this an exclusive committee to which only the best of the best need apply. Under the leadership of AMS President Bob Gray, the As- sociation has begun to explore the notion of raising a U.S.- based, alumni-driven scholarship endowment, as a small financial supplement to the Parliamentary grant-in-aid, as part of a transatlantic public/private UK/US partnership, and have convened two face-to-face meetings in 2012 with key potential donors to advance this proposal. As of this writing, firm funding commitments are not in hand, but it is The 2012 Marshall Scholars at the British Ambassador’s Residence hoped that a supplemental fund can be formally established in Washington DC later this year or during the first quarter of 2013.

Program Notes Symphony No. 3 – Aram Il'yich Khachaturian In November 1953, Aram Khachaturian acted on the encouraging signs of a cultural thaw following the death of Stalin six months earlier and wrote an article for the magazine Sovetskaya Muzika pleading for greater creative freedom. The way forward, he wrote, would have to be without the bureaucratic interference that had marred the creative efforts of previous years. How often in the past, he continues, 'have we listened to "monumental" works...that amounted to nothing but empty prattle by the composer, bolstered up by a contemporary theme announced in descriptive titles.' He was surely thinking of those countless odes to Stalin, Lenin and the Revolution, many of them subdivided into vividly worded sections; and in that respect Khachaturian had been no less guilty than most of his contemporaries.

    McMichael BMC Biology 2013, 11:60 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7007/11/60 INTERVIEW Open Access In pursuit of an HIV vaccine: an interview with Andrew McMichael Andrew J McMichael Andrew McMichael qualified in Medicine before doing a PhD in Immunology with Ita Askonas and Alan Williamson in the 1970s. His research during this time and later work done in his group has made a major contri- bution to our understanding of T-cell-mediated immunity against viral infections. Initially he worked on the immune response to influenza, but latterly studying the T cell re- sponse against HIV has been a major focus, and his group has designed and tested two candidate HIV vaccines in phase I clinical trials. Based through most of his research career in Oxford, he was knighted in 2008 for services to medical sciences, and has just completed 12 years as Director of the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine. In this 30th year since the discovery of HIV as the cause of AIDS, we asked Sir Andrew to give us his per- sonal perspective on the progress towards a vaccine.

    Anonymous Collocation Discovery: Harnessing Privacy to Tame the Coronavirus∗ Ran Canetti† Ari Trachtenberg‡ Mayank Varia§ Boston University April 7, 2020 Abstract Successful containment of the Coronavirus pandemic rests on the ability to quickly and reliably identify those who have been in close proximity to a contagious individual. Existing tools for doing so rely on the collection of exact location information of individuals over lengthy time periods, and combining this information with other personal information. This unprecedented encroachment on individual privacy at national scales has created an outcry and risks rejection of these tools. We propose an alternative: an extremely simple scheme for providing fine-grained and timely alerts to users who have been in the close vicinity of an infected individual. Crucially, this is done while preserving the anonymity of all individuals, and without collecting or storing any personal information or location history. Our approach is based on using short-range communication mechanisms, like Bluetooth, that are available in all modern cell phones. It can be deployed with very little infrastructure, and incurs a relatively low false-positive rate compared to other collocation methods. We also describe a number of extensions and tradeoffs. We believe that the privacy guarantees provided by the scheme will encourage quick and broad voluntary adoption. When combined with sufficient testing capacity and existing best practices from healthcare professionals, we hope that this may significantly reduce the infection rate. To avoid confusion, we stress that this work does not propose any direct medical treatment. arXiv:2003.13670v4 [cs.CY] 3 Apr 2020 Rather, it proposes a way to pool together information from the community in order to help (a) direct medical personnel in how to best allocate and use testing resources, and (b) direct individuals as to when to get tested and self-quarantine.

He left for Ltlbeck in November and did not return until Febmaiy, at which time he was rebuked by the Amstadt Consistory 0.

Jesu meine Freude, BWV 1105 (from the Neumeister Collection) variationes in the chorale" so that the congregation was confused by it. Bach's organ playing had clearly changed as a result of his time in Lilbeck, and his early organ Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ, BWV 722 Johann Sebastian Bach works testify to his study of music in the north German style, with virtuosic (from the Amstadt Congregational Chorales) figuration, important pedal solos, and the altemation of improvisatory and contrapuntal sections. In addition, he was also very influenced by Italian and French organists, such as Frescobaldi and Grigny.
